  • Title: [Choroidal melanoma and maculopathy].
    Author: Brovkina AF, Zargarian AE, Tyrkina KI, Shut'ko EIu.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 2011; 127(6):3-6. PubMed ID: 22442984.
    Abstract:
    Distant macular changes were revealed in 21 of 28 patients with intraocular melanoma. In 13 eyes maculopathy was very distant from choroidal melanoma (CM), in 4 cases the tumor was located preequatorially and in 9 patients in the posterior fundus beyond the macular zone. In 8 patients bilateral AMD was found along with CM. Revealed changes are considered to be tumor-associated sign of progressing CM. Association of AMD and CM should be considered as a combination of two distinct conditions, when CM disturbs hematoretinal barrier and thus leads to AMD progression.
